Compounding is the art and science of crafting a unique dosage form custom tailored to an individual patient. Our compounding pharmacy uses USP grade pharmaceutical ingredients to create a wide variety of dosage forms for our human and veterinary patients including capsules, suspensions, topical preparations, mini tabs, otic and ophthalmic preparations, suppositories, troches and many others. Pharmacy technicians work meticulously, compounding prescriptions by weighing, mixing, grinding, levigating, encapsulating and performing other techniques and duties in our compounding lab. It is a perfect mix of a chemistry lab and retail pharmacy. We are a busy pharmacy, but unlike some retail pharmacies, our customers really appreciate what we do and they let us know about it (check out our reviews on Yelp and Google)! We do not bill insurance at our pharmacy which allows technicians to focus more on compounding. In addition to advanced compounding, our pharmacy offers qualified technicians with opportunities for advancing their skill sets in the areas of training, sterile compounding, processing, personnel management, customers service and others.
